More like:

My hotel's vicinity, within it there is a store where I saw a suit that I want to try on.

It doesn't say anything about going to the store and it is in the current tense of wanting to try on something that you past-tense saw within the subordinate clause.

Call of what if is and it becomes more clear.

DEI is diversity equity and inclusion. You know, inclusion of racial minorities, disabled people, and women in historically male dominated roles.

Disneys board rejected enacting a Trump inspired policy of racism, sexism, and general bigotry.

"Secure" also has the meaning of taking something with great difficulty, not simply defending. It's a threat. All the rest is just using catastrophic/severe language to lure in followers to their cause.

Revolutionary fervor?

To really put this to rest:

Harakiri and Seppuku both literally mean abdomen/stomach cutting. Those who know some Japanese may recognize hara from the common phrase hara hetta which means you are hungry (literally, your stomach is decreasing in size or diminishing). Kiri means cut.

腹: hara 切: kiri

Seppuku simply reverses those kanji: 切腹

Why are they pronounced differently? Harakiri is a native Japanese word, using more traditional Japanese pronunciation Seppuku is a borrowing of middle Chinese roots: setsu from Middle Chinese tset meaning to cut, and fuku from Middle Chinese pjuwk, related to modern Mandarin fūk, referring to your abdomen.

So, setsufuku was shortened to seppuku where the Ps represent a stop and skipping of part of the word.

I think you're misreading ' as "

If it's 27" and 1' away that puts it into the highest resolution category

I want to offer that cars have always involved government corruption. The invention of jaywalking, the corrupt development of the highways for "national security" while simultaneously hampering development of real public transit, the wars started for fuel, the extrajudicial killings of people threatening the fossil fuel industry with electric cars (historically), political corruption is the life blood of cars.

Yes, one of the primary components of attraction is familiarity. Also proximity and similarity.

No. We have been allowed defacto since 2013 and officially since 2016, but have been in the military the whole time.

..no? According to SPARTA over 76% of trans people in the military have been there for at least fifteen years

My understanding is that there are gender neutral bathrooms throughout the capital, on top of the private bathrooms each rep has in their offices. This is still a disgrace.

Sarah McBride is a very lukewarm centrist, she is not going to stand up for herself or anyone else unfortunately. She's a Zionist, so not exactly progressive.

I also would use the women's room in defiance of these rules. But I expect her to stick to the neutral ones and toe the line because that is who she is. It's easy to expect all trans women to be woke leftists/socialists/anarchists or even communists. But we are just a bunch of people with a medical condition in common.

Even just an option to set the primary app theme color based on Material You would be nice, but the option to use surface colors from Material You would be nice as well.

Not asking for any changes to the design or layout (Android mode is perfect) just specifically the Material You colors

Display names (e.g. my display name "Juniper (she/her) 🫐") don't seem to be supported, leaving just usernames. It would be nice if display names were supported. Also, profile pictures would be nice, but I recognize that has been requested separately already.
